About this listen

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, George R R Martin, and David Gemmell, you will love this epic Viking adventure, packed with battles, heroes, brutal combat, and historical adventure.

Before the Viking Blood and Blade saga, there was Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar the Boneless, and the warship Seaworm

Einar, a young Northman… a Dane with dreams of becoming a warrior… a cruel world where reputation, weapon skill, and the luck of the gods matter above all things.

Ragnar Lothbrok and Sten Sleggya sail the Whale Road building their legend. Einar joins the crew of Ragnar’s son, Ivar the Boneless who must fight a war of vengeance. Einar fights to forge a warriors reputation under the glare of his fearsome shipmates, but to do that he must battle fearsome Viking enemies, the most savage of which is part of his own crew…

Discover how Einar became The Brawler in this fast paced prequel to Peter Gibbons' Viking Blood and Blade saga, featuring old friends, unforgettable characters and stunning battles.

From start to finish I was held in thrall, trying to anticipate each twist and turn that the warp and weft of the fabric of life, woven by the Norns of Fate, Urd, Skuld and Verdandi, held in store for the warrior who becomes Einar the Brawler.
A superb story with wonderfully created characters, caught in a brutal struggle for honour, fame and the lure of the Whale Road.

Peter Gibbons is a master wordsmith who manages to craft a tale of brutality around a character who strives for honour, justice and humanity. Superbly narrated by Michael Langan, who brings individuality and life to each character.

A beautifully woven pre-quell to the Viking Blood & Blade books
